I adore my husband, it’s his birthday this saturday so i decided that this week the blog will be all about him!

Marc is an amazing man, he is very laid back and tends not to get bothered by much. He is genuine and a really great friend, whenever I get upset or angry he is always there to calm me down. Having anxiety has been tough but Marc has been there to support me every step of the way, and no matter what he has never faltered.

I feel so incredibly lucky to call Marc my husband, we have been married for almost 6 months and I will never forget seeing him on our wedding day. So many people warned me that I would be nervous or anxious the morning of my wedding, but I was super calm.

I got up finished making our cake, had breakfast with my Mum and my Maid of Honor man and everything just felt right. There was never any doubt in my mind about marrying Marc.

One of Marc’s favourite foods is pizza and 9 times out of 10 he orders meatlovers, so I wanted to make an extra special one just for him. Usually he prefers thin crust pizza but I knew Ii wanted to load this up with toppings so I needed a thick crust to support it.

Lucky for me he loved this pizza thick crust and all.

What’s your favourite pizza? Mine is barbecue chicken and corn. We are always on the look out for new pizza topping combinations to try out.
